PRINTED MANIFOLDING-FORM.

Application led September 22, 19067 Serial No. 335,687. Renewed March 6,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS V. MAXEDON, a, citizen of the llnited States, residing at Crawfordsville,.in the county 'of Montgomery and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printing is a specification.

In the use of blank forms. such for instance as bills of lading, it is desirable that, by a single operation during the production of the original there may be produced one or more duplicates, and it has heretofore been customary to provide books of forms com` posed of a plurality of sheets between the sheets of which are introduced (manually) ordinary carbon papier. In some forms the backs of the sheet are carbonized but when this is done, owing to the usual methods of applying the transferring-- material, the entire surface must be carbonized. owing to the/ fact that thetransferring material is applied by means of a brush as a liquid'or paste'. In many of these blank forms it is desirable that there appear on the backs prin-ted conditions or instructions and, if the backs of the sheets are carbonized in the ordinary manner, an additional operation is required.

' The object of my present. invention is to produce a manifoldingblank form wholly by impression which may be accomplished with an ordinary printing-press sothat the transferring material may be applied by Uan im-V pression means and preferably may be applied simultaneously with the production of printed matter upon the same face of theJ sheet. By this means it becomes possible'to. apply the' transferring material to isolated spots upon. the sheet at anyl desired point and, if desired, the printed matter may be so arranged relative to the blanks upon the .op` posite face of the form that when printed with the transferring material, it may become available in the production of a mark upon the face o'f'the next succeeding form. To this end it became necessary for me to produce a special transferring material ca pable of being usedjust like an ordinary printers ink in an impression press for the reason that the materialV heretofore commonlyused for the production of manifolding sheetsis of such character as to be un available for application to type or other printed purposes in aprinting press.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

1909.. Serial No. 481,686.

'Figure 1 is a diagram of the face of a blank form; Fig. 2 a diagram of the back of such form printed in accordance with myinvention.

In carrying out my invention I 4print the face of'the foiinwvith any standard ink in any usual manner; the back is printed with my improved ink; the solid surface 10 being produced by applying my improved ink to the faces of suitably dimensioned slugs and the type portion l1 being inked with my improved vink or, if desired, with any standard ink. I have found a suitable ink for this purpose to be produced b v taking 12 parts of connnon commercial axle grease to be bought. in the open market and 2 parts of lamp black thoroughly mechanically mixed and applied to the printing surfaces by any of the wellknown and commonvn'lechanism ordinarily used for applying standard ink.

The most lpreferable method of producing my improved manifoldi'ig form consists in ruiming a lcontinuous web through a 2-cylthe face being printed with ordinary ink by one cylinder and the manifolding back being printed with my improved ink by the other cylinder. It is to be understood, however, `that the particular type of printing machine is immaterial. The amount of printed conditions on each face being practically equal I thus reduce the necessary Widthof the sheet without interfering in any manner With the proper plac` of thetransfer spaces. By this means it becomes possible to build up a set of sheets, one of each set being transparent, if desired, the printed conditions on the back of the transparent sheet lying immediately behind.

the printed conditlons on the face thereof and thus noty interfering with the proper showing of the carbon lines ,upon the back of the transfer sheet.

I claim as my invention.

l1. A ymanifolding sheet having a manifolding material, in the nature of printers ink, placed on one face thereof by impression.

2. A manifolding sheet having placed upon one face by impression a typed portion ankd another portion both of a manifolding 1n 3. A sheet having on one face a printed A blank form and on the other face, opposite the blanks of the form, isolated portions of a. manifolding ink placed thereon by impression.

4. A manifolding sheet having placedgreasel and a pigment.

7. A vmanifolding sheet having placed u on one face a blank form and having p aced upon its opposite face by impression a typed portion and l a portion `both composed of a lm of a mixture of axle grease and lamp black. .Y Y

8. A manifolding sheet having placed upon its face a blank form together with printed conditions and having upon the (pposite face printed conditions immedia back of the printed conditions upon the face, and having manifolding material at isolated points immediately back of the blank forms.

9. A manifoldmg sheet. having placed upon its face a blank form 'together with printed conditions, and havi upon the back, typed printedV conditions. immediately back of the printed conditions on the face, and manifolding 'portions at isolated points Vimmediately* back of the blanks of the form,

said manifolding portions and typed portions on the back being-of the same materia-l in the nature of printers ink..

10. 'A manifolding sheet having formed by impression upon one' side thereof in ink of the same lcomposition printed matter and a manifolding surface.

11. A manifolding sheet having formed by impression upon oneside thereof in ink of the same composition printed matter and a manifolding surface, and having upon its other side printed matter substantially opposite said first printed matter.

12. A manifolding sheet having formed by impression upon one side thereof in ink of the same composition printed matter and lnanifolding surfaces, and Yhaving upon lts 'other 'side blanks for inscriptions substantially opposite said manifolding surfaces.

13. A manifolding sheet having formed by impression upon Vone sidethereof in ink of the same composition printed matter and a plurality of relatively isolated manifoldjng Y surfaces-and having upon its other side printed matterl and blanks for inscriptions sfubstantially opposite said manifolding suraces.

14. A manifolding sheet having formed by impression upon one side thereof in ink of the -same composition printed matter and relatively isolated manifolding surfaces, and

having upon its other side printed matter substantiallyv opposite said first printed matter, and blanks for inscriptions substantially opposite said manifolding surfaces.

15. A manifolding sheethavingformed b y impression upon one side thereof a mamfolding'surface and upon its other side op'- 'A posite the manifoldingsurfaee a. Vprinted blank form. Y
